Yes, weapon-r is one of the worst offenders when it comes to losing power from aftermarket intakes. K&N being the other one it competes with at the bottom. Only way to get worse than those is with ebay no-name-brand stuff.

WCS's pic was actually done by someone, and it's retarded. He was posting it as a joke. Look at the neck that they both go down to. It's still the restriction point, not to mention it's lacking any airflow control, etc...

Intakes are FAR more complicated than some people realize.

Racing Beat, AEM, and Mazdaspeed are the only ones proven to produce gains in power.

I got the AEM and i'm very happy with it. I like how it looks through the grill of the bumper, the sound is amazing and loud at high RPMs, and i feel more of a pull. A little to be asking though, since you already bought a weapon-r, am I right...?

i think you heard a louder noise and thought you felt your car getting faster.

dynos show that the intake barely improves hp.

My baffles were removed and i didnt have my exhaust connected so my car was pretty loud when i put my intake on, so when i put my exhaust back on and it quieted down, i didnt notice and noise increase or power increase..

Yeah, go for the AEM or Mazdaspeed. Those are supposed to be the best, err... only good ones i guess, haha. I haven't heard much on the RB one, but it sounds pretty cool and a lot of people have it, but i haven't done much reading on it.
